Okay, I have to ask.

Which is worse? That I left a bowl of leftover Chinese food in the fridge for a month?

Or that, just now, when I threw it out, it showed no obvious signs of decomposition, and still smelled fine?

I'm definitely guilty of forgetting things in the fridge for long periods of time. So I'd have to say the second thing is definitely worse.

And the thing is, I really do like that food.

Definitely option two.

...yeah, I'd say number two.

Though, if you have a steady diet of the stuff, does this mean you'll live forever?

You're the one with the endless life-line on your palms, right?

I think that's a sure sign it's high time you found a different Chinese restaurant to patronize.

ROFL!

[flewellyn.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

The latter. Definitely the latter.

Gah! That's impressive. And scary. Really, really scary.

Wasting food is a shame but we're all guilty of it. There are probably preservative qualities in the spices that keep the mold and bacteria away. Especially with refrigeration. Still wouldn't want to eat it.

So I guess it's a tie. ;)

Oooh, blood oranges! :)

As for the Chinese food, I don't think it's the spices keeping the mold and bacteria away... I'd dump it, too. It probably tastes less than fresh.

Eeek!

That's unsettling.
